A shell is an interface / interpreter to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system.

Although you need to study concepts (slides) throughout this course, you will also need to get hands-on practice running Linux commands as well as performing and submitting online.
This requires that you connect to a Linux server and become comfortable with issuing Linux commands.

In Unix/Linux, a shell is simply an interface to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system (server). Linux shells have evolved (improved) over a period of time. You will be using the Bash Shell which is considered to be user-friendly. By understanding how to issue Linux commands, you can create a file that contains Linux commands (called a shell script) later in this course to automate tasks to make you a more productive Linux user and system administrator.
